Stephen is no relation to the Sheffield United F.C. manager Neil Warnock, but a product of the Liverpool youth academy. He had loan spells at Bradford City and Coventry City, later making his Liverpool debut against Grazer AK in 2004, in the first leg of a UEFA Champions League third qualifying round.
Warnock impressed on a number of occasions during his debut season of 2004-2005. His good form resulted in the more experienced and renowned Harry Kewell being dropped on several occasions. In his second season (2005-2006), he has been asked to play primarily at left-back, in rotation with the Norwegian John Arne Riise. Warnock scored his first goal for the club against Fulham in a 5-1 win on the 15 March 2006.
In a media speculated swap deal, Blackburn's captain Lucas Neill was speculated to changes clubs with Warnock in both summer 2006 and winter 2007. Eventually Neill took a higher paid deal at West Ham, while on 22 January 2007 Warnock joined Blackburn Rovers for an undisclosed fee believed to be £1.5m. He made his debut in the FA Cup 4th Round, impressing in the 4-0 victory over Luton Town.
On January 31, 2007 he played his first Premiership match for Rovers against Chelsea.[1] He was sent off for 2 bookable offences in the 2-1 victory over Sheffield United on 3 February. Warnock scored his first goal for Blackburn in the 3-0 victory over Portsmouth on 25 February.
Despite having made relatively few first team appearances for Liverpool, Warnock was called in to the senior England squad for the first time on August 29, 2005, due to lack of cover in the squad at left back. However, he has yet to make an appearance for England and has not been called up since.
